This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

A Major Disappointment

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Jonah Hex has been highly criticized from critics and fans alike, and offered a poor run at the box office. With a run time of 81 minutes, the film does move quite slowly in the beginning but after around halfway (once Michael Fassbender's character is introduced more so) it picks up the pace. Although we see the flaws in the film in that it feels rushed, messy and not completely interesting or enjoyable. It reminds somewhat of Ghost Rider (2007) but that film had a more thought-out plot, better backstory, better villains and overall slightly more intriguing.Though it has some decent ideas, we can see why the film was considered a misfire. Even with the faults, the film isn't long enough for a complete disaster and some of the scenery's are quite nice and fight scenes towards the end are entertaining. Josh Brolin plays his role well, and Megan Fox is there for eye candy. Overall Jonah Hex may surprise those wanting something quick and entertaining, and may be better than expecting.

With a mutilated face and his name on the wanted list, Jonah Hex is recruited by the president of the U.S.A. to track down his not so deceased arch enemy, Quentin Turnbull (who is building a weapon of mass destruction against his own country).This is all you need to know about the plot because the rest is redundant. Jonah is a bad-ass shooter with deadly reflexes who uses his ability to talk to the dead in order to track down Quentin, the person who killed his entire family. Throughout the entire movie, he kills and kills, one "bad guy" after another until the final fight which is as disappointing as the entire film. A cliché story with lots of shooting finishing with a very expected finale. You must be a real fan of this type of movies to find something good in it but because I don't agree with senseless killing (which only try to cover up an non-existent story).I say that it's another average movie which doesn't do anything to stand out from the crowd. Jonah Hex, as a character, has a bit of potential with his awesome skills but he cannot carry an entire movie only with his gun. Too bad

You know there's trouble ahead when you're barely into the first reel and find the narrative being conveyed through a series of voice overs accompanied by some crummy animation. It's a clear sign that they run out of money somewhere, that or one of the major cast members refused to deliver any more lines. The rumour concerning this film is that both those contingencies occurred during the re-shoot, a re-shoot by the way, prompted purely by the motive to destroy the film. It seems it's a another case of Howard the Duck, quite how people can get away with that kind of thing and stay out of gaol is a mystery of the magnitude that would stump Jonah himself but it's something that persists in the US film industry.So what we're left with is barely a film at all, it's not much more than a series of roughly assembled tableaux accompanied by music. The plot is impenetrable, senseless even and as an adaption of a comic strip character it ranks almost as bad as Batman and Robin.

This was one of my favorites when I was little, way back in the 70s. Even my mom liked Jonah Hex, she was the first one to read it when a new one came out. I never cared for the superhero genre, even when I was a kid. Anyway, I finally saw this film on TV tonight, and the character in the film was completely unlike Jonah Hex. The supernatural element blew chunks, especially that idiotic scene at the grave.W. T. F.John Malkovich gives the worst performance of his career. Megan Fox lives up to her last name, but she'll never win an academy award. This isn't the worst film I've ever seen, but with so much emphasis on spreadsheets and bottom lines and the corporate takeover of Hollywood films, you would expect much, much better. If the guys who backed this film are reading this review, next time throw all your money at the script first, there must be at least one talented screenwriter in the world who could have turned this into gold and kept it consistent with the comic book. Instead, you've produced something that destroys more brain cells than marijuana.
